Sacramento police have arrested two juveniles in connection with the fatal drive-by shooting of a man Jan. 17 in Oak Park.
Anthony Navarro, 19, of Sacramento was shot about 12:44 p.m. in the 3100 block of 39th Street, just south of Broadway. He was transported to UC Davis Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Police said he had been shot several times.
Sacramento police spokeswoman Officer Michele Gigante said homicide investigators tracked one suspect, a 16-year-old boy, to Palm Springs and he was taken into custody by Palm Springs police on Jan. 29. He has been returned to Sacramento and booked into juvenile hall.
